END OF CHAPTER
(separate images of each partner and rambling under the cut)
How is everyone liking TTYD Switch so far? This is something I wanted to finish by the game's release date, but I ended up putting more effort into it than I expected and it took much longer than I bargained for (plus I've been playing the game in my free time). Anyways, Paper Mario TTYD is one of my favorite games of all time and I really wanted to do something special for the remake/remaster (still haven't seen a clear consensus on what to call it), so I drew Mario with all his partners. Yoshi Kid is my favorite but I've grown fond of all of them over the years, so it was really fun figuring out how to draw them (most of them for the first time!)
I ended up drawing all the partners in full despite the fact most of them are hidden by Mario or others, so here's all the partners separately! Fun fact: all of them are holding the Crystal Star obtained in their respective chapter except Goombella and Ms. Mowz, since Goombella is from the prologue and Ms. Mowz doesn't have her own chapter. I figured Ms. Mowz should get the titular Crystal Star since I placed her in the center.
It's still so surreal to me that this game got released on the Switch at all. I know people sing praises for this game all the time but it really is a fantastic game imo, and it makes me so happy seeing others get to experience it themselves for the first time. TTYD has inspired me in so many ways and is really important to me; I hope I was able to express that through my art.

RESIDENT EVIL → THE WESKER FAMILY
To the public, little is known of the families behind some of the world’s most renowned bioterrorists, but the question remains: did they play a role in causing their children to walk down the path that they did? Or are these individuals simply ambitious criminals with delusions of grandeur?
For Diana Wesker (née Afanasyeva), her introduction into the bioweapons black market trade was upon discovering her employers were using her research into limb regeneration with salamanders to further their experiments in creating enhanced soldiers, instead of developing human therapies with which she was recruited for. Although the prospect of using biological weapons in the military did not appeal to her, the concept remained fascinating for her own selfish endeavours. Born on the 27th of October, 1963 in Sydney, Australia to Russian immigrant parents, Diana had harsh expectations placed upon her at a young age, ones that no matter how hard she tried she could never live up to. Her mother, Tatyana, was an unfeeling woman, absent for long stretches of time with little regard to how it affected her daughters, much more concerned with her craft as an accomplished opera singer. Viktor was no better. A strict man whose role as father and ballet master blurred, he pushed his girls to one day follow in his footsteps. Whilst Sofia enjoyed ballet, and went on to become a professional ballet dancer, Diana’s heart was set on going into the field of biology. She wished to make a name for herself, separate from her family – to which she succeeded.
Diana was married to former U.S. Marine, Dave Monroe, for only a year until he was declared dead in 1992 after succumbing to injuries sustained in a horrific car accident. Foul play was ruled out while Diana played the role of the grief-stricken widow, but in reality, she had snapped after years of mistreatment at her husband’s hands, and opted for something she could pass off as an accident to be free of him. For years she believed he was dead – and he was, legally – but that proved to not be the case when he found his way back into her life again in 1999. Unbeknownst to her, she had been lied to by the police and coroner, who were paid off by her employers when they took Dave’s body for themselves and used him as one of their first test subjects in developing supersoldiers. Before he could ever hurt her again, Diana’s second husband, Albert Wesker, tracked the man down, captured him and tortured him, before allowing Diana to get her violent and bloody revenge.
The origins of Albert Wesker’s involvement in bioterrorism, alongside his twin sister, Alex, are much different than that of Diana’s. The two hail from London, Canada, but unfortunately, they hold no memories of their lives there, nor what happened to their biological parents when they were eight years old. Agents of Oswell E. Spencer, an aristocratic billionaire and eugenicist, took the twins from their home and executed their parents as per Spencer’s orders. Albert and Alex were then placed in a home funded by the Spencer Foundation where they were given new names and a privileged upbringing. They had access to the best education possible, free to pursue whichever field they decided, but it was by no accident they both went into virology and bioengineering; at home, their adoptive parents – agents whom they believed to be their real parents – instilled them with the beliefs of Oswell E. Spencer, harbouring disdain for war and pestilence, and believing humans to be an evolutionary dead-end in need of a rebirth. They were only two of the hundreds of children “adopted” as part of what is known as Project W, a plan intended to develop an advanced race of human beings. The most promising candidates were headhunted by Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, the twins amongst them, where they went on to create bioweapons for the company founded by none other than the man who had handpicked them for his plan. The final stage of this was to infect the thirteen Spencer saw fit, however, only two survived; Albert received the intended effects, now possessing superhuman abilities, however, Alex was only offered more time to live due to her terminal degenerative illness.
In the summer of 1995, Diana was working undercover within Umbrella to gather development data on their projects for her company. Here, she had a chance encounter with Albert, an intelligence officer at the time, which permanently altered the course of her life. The two were never seen far from one another’s side, marrying in 1998, and they went on to become notorious in the bioweapons industry. The development of the Uroboros virus was where things took a turn for the worst. Although Diana’s infection was successful and she bore abilities that rivalled her husband’s, the plan itself did not succeed as they had hoped, and almost cost Albert his life at the hands of his former subordinates.
Now, they work within the shadows, with Diana declared missing and Albert believed to be dead. Their legacy, however, lives on with the mark they left on the world. As visionaries in their field, they influenced bioterror attacks carried out by countless individuals and organisations. In turn, they also inspired others to fight against such atrocities. One such person happens to be Albert’s son from a former relationship, Jake Müller, whose existence he was unaware of.

This came to me in a vision when I was working last Friday
[Image ID: A triple venn diagram labeled "Beverlin" for the top circle, "Film Reroll Mouth/Data" for the left circle, and "Oakworthy" for the right circle. The yellow, just Beverlin circle reads "Kiss so powerful it opens a portal to another plane of existence." The pink, just Mouth/Data circle reads "We got X-men mutant powers by freak accident and I love my other friends, but now you're the only one who understands me." The blue, just Oakworthy circle reads "What if we were from rival schools? And our parents left the world in shambles for us to fix? And we were Will They/Won't They partners?" The orange overlap between Beverlin and Mouth/Data reads "Friends to lovers during a world-altering adventure." The indigo overlap between Mouth/Data and Oakworthy reads "Explosion/fire related injuries during the course of the adventure." The green overlap between Oakworthy and Beverlin reads "'Why did you kiss someone else?' angst". Finally, the pale gray overlap between all three reads "Gay teens from TTRPG podcasts where one of them has major daddy issues." /.End ID]
